Vaginal Tightening (Vaginoplasty & Perineoplasty)
Restoring Strength, Sensation, and Confidence After Childbirth or Ageing
Vaginal tightening procedures such as vaginoplasty and perineoplasty aim to restore the tone and structure of the vaginal canal and opening — often affected by childbirth, ageing, or trauma. Many women notice changes in vaginal laxity, reduced sensation during intimacy, or a general feeling of looseness after vaginal delivery or over time. These changes are normal, but they don’t have to be permanent. Dr. Affie Tourani offers safe, expertly performed vaginal tightening surgery to help women feel more supported, satisfied, and confident again.
Who Is Vaginal Tightening For?
Women who feel “looseness” or lack of friction during intercourse
Post-childbirth changes that affect comfort or sensation
Scarring or gaping at the vaginal opening
Difficulty with tampons or pelvic floor support
Self-consciousness about physical or sexual function
This is a deeply personal topic — and Dr. Tourani provides a private, respectful space to listen and discuss your options without embarrassment.
Surgical Options
Vaginoplasty
Tightens the entire vaginal canal by bringing together the stretched or separated muscles and removing excess vaginal tissue. This improves tone and sensation and can also enhance pelvic support. This procedure is done under general anaesthetic in the operating room.
Perineoplasty
Focuses on the vaginal opening and perineum (area between the vagina and anus), restoring tissue support and appearance often damaged or scarred during childbirth.
These procedures are often combined for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Vagilangelo ®
Vagilangelo is a minimally invasive, in-office gynecology procedure designed to improve sexual pleasure and vaginal function by restoring the vaginal canal's natural angle and tightening the opening. Combining PRP injections and internal sutures, it aims to enhance sensitivity, improve urinary control, and restore a youthful, anatomical structure, typically requiring only 2-3 weeks for recovery. Dr Tourani is a certified provider of this procedure in Australia and performs it in her Chadstone rooms under local anaesthetic.
In less severe cases non-surgical options are also available.

Initial rest recommended for 1–2 weeks
Return to light duties: around 7–10 days
Avoid intercourse, tampon use, or strenuous activity for 6 weeks
Swelling and tenderness are common and gradually subside
Full healing within 8–12 weeks
Dr. Tourani provides personalised recovery guidance and follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and results.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Vaginal tightening refers to procedures — such as vaginoplasty and perineoplasty — that restore tone and support to the vaginal canal and opening, often affected by childbirth, ageing or trauma. These procedures improve structure, sensation and overall comfort.
-
You may be a candidate if you notice changes in vaginal tone, reduced sensation during intimacy, discomfort during intercourse, or difficulty with tampon insertion following childbirth or as a result of ageing. A consultation with Dr Tourani helps determine the most suitable option for you.
-
Procedures are performed under anaesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Post-operative discomfort like swelling or tenderness is common but typically manageable with prescribed pain relief.
-
Surgical tightening procedures usually take 1–2 hours, depending on the extent of correction and whether additional procedures are performed. Vagilangelo is a much quicker procedure which is done under local anaesthetic only with minimal postoperative discomfort.
-
Many women report improved sensation and confidence after healing, but outcomes vary. Dr Tourani discusses realistic expectations during your consultation.
-
Non-surgical options, such as laser treatments, may be appropriate for mild cases of vaginal laxity. However, in Dr Tourani’s experience, the minimally invasive Vagilangelo® procedure offers more predictable and durable outcomes in appropriately selected patients. This procedure can be performed comfortably under local anaesthesia in the consulting rooms.
